- 'Cause like honestly,
I don't really lie to my mom.
Like, if I do, like 10, five minutes later,
I'm gonna confess and be like,
"Okay, I lied, my bad.
"Can we just move on?"
- And sometimes I gotta check her.
(upbeat music)
This is my fabulous daughter.
- This is my fabulous mother.
- Yeah.
And a lot of parents have seen it.
They were tickled with some of them.
I believe it's also called oral sex.
- We haven't.
- Am I correct?
- I don't know.
- They were touched with some.
Have I had thoughts of suicide?
- Have you?
- Yeah.
- Oh.
- Yeah, baby, I have.
- She doesn't know, I know.
- I walk in, into that door right there,
and I see a couch with a table
with latex condoms and female condoms.
Why does it look wet?
- It's a lubricant,
and also, I believe there's spermicide.
- I already know about this stuff.
I've already gone through Flash a couple times.
I don't need to talk about it
and have a camera in my face.
(giggling)
- And I didn't know that she knew as much as she knew.
When we were sitting here discussing some of this stuff,
I was sitting here going.
- Yeah, I know that.
- I know, okay.
Okay, I'm glad she knew it.
- There was someone at my school who said,
"Oh Brianna, I saw you and your mom
"on Cut.com, and bananas were involved".
- A lot of parents were also like,
"Wow, how did you start talking to Brianna about that?"
They were able to talk to their children
or double-check to make sure that they were informed.
So I thought that was cool.
(sighs)
- Parents explain how to deal with the police.
Why would a police officer
assume that you did something bad?
(sniffling)
- Maybe because of my skin color.
- Before you even started the conversation,
I started to cry.
Before we came, another,
a police officer got off.
My heart was heavy.
I was low, I was disappointed.
If he tells you to be quiet, be quiet.
Do everything that you can
to get back to me.
- I wanted to let people know how I was feeling.
And I wanted to see where Brianna's heart
and mine was.
I see it weighing on you,
and I don't want it to weigh on you.
- I'm just worried about Donovan.
I don't want him to be shot,
I don't want him to go to jail.
- I wanted to inform my daughter.
I wanted to let her know, to this moment,
that there is still bad police officers out there.
There's still evil, hateful police officers out there.
It's my job to teach and to take care of my child
in every aspect.
I want her to go into this world ready.
- In the news a lot, they show a lot more negative
than the positive.
So I was already concerned about the police,
so my mom didn't really put that nervousness in my head.
- Don't always assume that all of them are bad.
- Mm-hmm, but all you see on the news
and in newspapers.
And it keeps happening.
It's just in a different way.
It's like, how people are like,
you should forgive so and so.
But they keep doing it to me.
I forgave them, but they keep doing it to me.
It gets harder and harder to forgive them.
- Wow.
- I was devastated to see my mom cry
and obviously devastated that I'm,
that my mom's concerned about my life.
It made me nervous.
It was intense.
But I realized how important it was
to have that conversation.
- We go to a large-sized church.
And a lot of the members are coming up to us,
embracing us.
- Saying, "I saw that video".
"I'm sorry". - "And we're so sorry".
Yeah, and I'm like, no, don't be sorry.
What did you get from it?
And then they would share.
- In my opinion, we were supposed to be part of the video
to help people.
- I saw a lot of mothers of different colors and races
have come up and thanked us.
And we've had discussions about it.
- I'm glad that we were able to use our voices
so we could help others be heard
and have other people understand.
- Well, I hope more people see the videos.
All the videos.
- Yep.
Have a laugh, have a cry.
- And have a conversation with your child.
- Most definitely.
If your kid's trying to tell you something important,
and if you just go, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh,
it's kind of gonna,
it's gonna discourage the child from telling you stuff.
- Well, I don't know.
Like, I just came into the world,
and we became best friends.
- I see her as a gift.
And I'm gonna take care of my gift
and treasure my gift.
(laughing)
Yay, Breki.
- Thanks for watching me and my beautiful mother.
Thank you.
Don't forget to watch more than Throwback videos.
(laughing)
- What?
- I don't know, I don't know.
Mom, Bill said it.
- Don't forget to watch Throwback Thursdays.
- Bye.
